No chance this is JS

[BlueJays]

lol. No s***. Even if we come back to win this game, it was so stupid and over done. Must come from the FO and analytics people. Honestly cant see JS making these calls on his own unless he got drunk with Walker before the game.

And Atkins is sitting pretty while watching this whole mess lmao guy should be fired together with Schneider

[Masterbather]

Can the Jays score 3 runs?

 

What do you think? Honestly? They will get multiple innings out of their back end guys today if they need it. We may only have a couple of innings left to do anything.

Its 100% Atkins and the analytics department behind this. JS is just a puppet

Charlie Montoyo > John Schneider

 

This might be a bad time for me to say this, but I still disagree. I actually think Montoyo was that bad. Not only would he have removed Berrios early still, he would have done something even worse like put Yimi Garcia or Trevor Richards in there.

[DigitalRock]

If you're on this team right now you have to be absolutely resisting every urge to not pummel John Schneider

 

Doesn’t matter if they don’t score.

[Abomination]

Charlie Montoyo > John Schneider

 

We should have given Gibby a lifetime contract.

[Zacman]

Honestly not sure this team is worth any sort of emotional investment until major changes are made.

[jaysblue]

Even Hazel Mae's look on her face was like WTF?

[AdamGreenwood]

You have to admire Jose Berrios.

If that was me, I'd be sitting on the bench pouting like a three-year-old.

 

But Berrios is a team player. Love that guy.

[Omar]

No way man… that 2015 loss to the royals, those ridiculous strike calls. This is infuriating though

 

This was self inflicted though.

[thatoneguy]

Fire

 

f***ing

 

everyone

[tazsub3]

The Downfall started when we let go a homegrown, now a world series winner GM. This an idiot ran franchise.

I have been watching baseball since 1980, and i have yet to remember a more idiotic move, removing an ace level performance in the 4th inning.

[Krylian]

If anyone ever stands up for Shatkins, I will punch you in the face.

 

AA

 

This is the way.

[BigCecil]

This was self inflicted though.

 

lol. Exactly. We dumped 5 gallons of gas on our heads and lit a match.

[saskjayfan]

Yeah, I despise John Schneider as a manager but he had Kikuchi warming up in like the 1st inning. This decision was likely made before Schneider even woke up this morning, which is actually the scarier alternative because at least if it was the manager you can get rid of him. This s*** is the front office that isn't going anywhere.

 

Heard AA interviewed a couple weeks ago. He said the lineup is the managers. He never gets involved. He gives his opinions when asked but all lineup and game day decisions rest with the manager.

[jaysblue]

Even if the Jays win this one today, the bullpen will be depleated for tomorrow lol.

[Doubleplay21]

Schneider did not make the decision to take Barrios outstanding...stop blaming Schneider IDing

If you’re for that sort of thing, sure. I’ll take the guy that’s pissed and doesn’t want to give up the ball

[Daniel Labude]

Fire

 

f***ing

 

everyone

 

Might as well

[RFK Jr]

I’m leaning no

[hanton]

Exactly, most teams work like this

[DigitalRock]

This was self inflicted though.

 

That is easier to swallow than getting screwed for me personally. This team just isn’t good enough that team was.

[thatoneguy]

Does anyone want to defend this front office now? I f***ing dare you.

[BlueJays]

Even if the Jays win this one today, the bullpen will be depleated for tomorrow lol.

 

Schneider favourite past time then!

[JFD]

Lets bunt with runners in scoring position!@!#$!!

[Delgalladay]

Honestly not sure this team is worth any sort of emotional investment until major changes are made.

 

I'm not coming back next year if Atkins is still employed.

[Jays333]

Id be very interested to hear some of the big homers and Atkins apologists take on this one.

[saskjayfan]

DoesnÂ’t matter if they donÂ’t score.

 

Every player is now gripping the bat tighter and it's a lot harder on the offense. If they were feeling loose that feeling is gone. The game is 90% mental. The other half is physical.

we had that man, an we let him go for a clown shitshow
